Yesterday, his campaign offices were swept by a private security detail, which did not find a bug. Still, given that the meeting was attending by only a handful of longtime McConnell insiders, team McConnell is convinced it was not an internal leak. In an earlier statement, the McConnell campaign accused “the Left” of using “Nixonian tactics” and bugging the campaign’s headquarters.

In the recording, Mother Jones identifies McConnell in its transcript introducing the meeting saying:

If I could interject…I assume most of you have played the, the game Whac-A-Mole? [Laughter.]This is the Whac-A-Mole period of the campaign…when anybody sticks their head up, do them out, and we’re even planning to do it with the Courier here shortly, so…

From there the meeting went on to talk about Judd, her political positions, religious beliefs and mental health.

“Clearly a theme that’s easy to hit is that she’s an out-of-touch, Hollywood liberal, and her grandmother, Polly Judd, referred to her as that,” one of the meeting members identified by Mother Jones as “presenter” said in the recording, according to the transcript.

The presenter goes on to identify Judd as an anti-coal, pro-cap-and-trade “carpetbagger.” Judd’s infamous identifying Tennessee as her home line is called up as well, in addition to instances where she has shown that she considers herself a San Franciscan.

“I think too she’s clearly sort of anti-sort-of-traditional American family,” the presenter said later. “I think Jesse tracked this down. She described having children as selfish, and she thinks it’s unconscionable to breed. So you put that with what we’ll talk to you later about her sort of pro-choice stance and it’s sort of a, you know, pretty extreme posture to take. She also is critical of, of fathers giving away their daughters in marriage ceremonies. She says it’s a common vestige of male dominion over a women’s reproductive status when her father gives her away at a wedding. And then she’s clearly for pro-abortion.”

The aide finishes his narrative about Judd with a discussion about past mental health issues.

“She’s clearly – this sounds extreme – but she is emotionally unbalanced,” the aide said. “I mean it’s been documented. Jesse can go in chapter and verse from her autobiography about, you know, she’s suffered some suicidal tendencies. She was hospitalized for 42 days when she had a mental breakdown in the `90s.”

Other opponents mentioned in the transcript include Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat, and Matthew Bevins who is labeled by the presenter as “Tea Party not afraid to turn on the government.”
